Re: The View

Just read about Star Jones coming back for February. If I already didn't watch this show, that would be enough to keep me away. That woman is horrid. Star and Hasselback (not to mention Sherri) on the same stage....well, I can't imagine anything more annoying.

Clearly, it's a ratings stunt. I hope it backfires, if only to NOT feed her enormous ego. Barbra must be really worried about the ratings to let Star back on the show.

Re: The View

I will say that I did used to like Star. I just stopped liking her when every word out of her mouth was about her or her big stupid wedding. I still watched the show back then, so she didn't annoy me enough to NOT watch. I quit watching after Lisa Ling left and they hired Hasselback. Such a step down with that switch. I still think they should have hired Rachel Campos - she's conservative and young, but she's not vapid.

It seems to me that Star's personality changed for the worse when she lost the weight. She got more arrogant and self-centered. I also didn't respect the fact that she lied about having gastric bypass surgery. She didn't have to reveal that surgery to the public, but she also didn't have to lie and say she DIDN'T have it.

I'm sure there will be videos making the rounds on entertainment sites when Whoopi and Star butt heads. I'm also sure that the producers are expecting that to happen.

Re: The View

Star isn't coming back as a co host or even has a guest host, just as a guest. She is there I believe to promote awareness of heart disease among women. I recall her leaving on such bad terms, that I'm honestly shocked she is coming back.
